Unsworth is in temporary charge at Goodison following the sacking of Ronald Koeman on Monday, with the former Blues defender now having been installed as the and bookmakers’ favourite, generally just 2/1 to take over full time.

At the time of writing you could still get 15/8 on Unsworth with Sky Bet and 7/4 with both Ladbrokes and Coral but the 44-year-old is now 2/1 with William Hill, Betfair, Paddy Power, Betfred and Bet Victor while Unibet and 888sport will only offer you even money.

Dyche who was 9/4 favourite on Tuesday has now drifted to 10/3 with Paddy Power and Bet Fred, 3/1 with Ladbrokes, Betfair and Coral and 5/2 with Sky Bet and William Hill despite refusing to rule himself out of the running on Thursday.

The Clarets chief said: “You’re always flattered at your work being recognised.

“It’s right that I get asked about if of course and they are another good club. But I’m respectful of this club.
